Not sure who Krejci is but he won't be playing against us.

Home win. Nailed on.
They have some fight in them, as displayed against Arsenal.
They will love to fuck us over as their last hurrah before they go down, and we just look lost.

This lot always seem to beat us in the land that time forgot, and with out current form I wouldn’t put it past them.
Feck that though, 2-1 us (Abraham, Watkins off the bench).

                                 Martinez

Cash.                 Konsa.       Torres.        Mastsen

                            Luiz.          Onana

                                   Barkley. 

Sancho.                      Abraham.             Rogers

Tammy has to start. I'd go with Lindelof over Torres but picking Mings again just sends the wrong message. Hard to be positive after that shit show of a performance yesterday but the team above seems a bit better balanced.

We always play shite here even when we're in good form.

1-0 to them or 0-0.

We're gonna score less goals than the barren spring of '92 at the current rate.

Onana needs to be making a much bigger impact than he usually does and doesn't look like a £50m player right now: I think either play him further up the pitch or off the bench. We should play Barkley and Luiz as the MF pivot.

Barkley can't run, partnership with him and Luiz would be a disaster I think. Bogarde has been tried a few times and didn't perform. Onana is hiding. Massive problem in midfield.

This is going to be another tough one. Tammy must start although I think he'll start Watkins again.

One nil to us, Tammy 85th minute after coming on for Watkins in the 70th  minute

Barkley has to start to find that ball between the lines. Would push Rogers left to free him up in space where we cant be blocked in the middle so easily. Torres a must, Sancho our best wide option compared with Buendia or Bailey.

Absolutely no excuse not to drum this shite.

Well, you may be right but we need someone in the middle with a bit of guile who reads the game. Barkley played in the deeper role for Luton so I think it's worth a shot against the league's lowest team.

Pointless playing Onana if we dominate possession. I don’t think he’s had a good game in a Villa shirt when we’ve dominated possession,
